Abstract

The standard MS renormalization prescription is inadequate for dealing with multiscale problems. To illustrate this, we consider the computation of the effective potential in the Higgs-Yukawa model. It is argued that the most natural way to deal with this problem is to introduce a 2-scale renormalization group. We review various ways of implementing this idea and consider to what extent they fit in with the notion of heavy particle decoupling.
